Since the summer of 2024, we've partnered with OCHIN, a national nonprofit organization, to tackle barriers that hinder today’s healthcare delivery system - technical staffing shortages, rising operational costs, and increasingly complex patient care needs that require comprehensive electronic health record (EHR) solutions. By working together to develop affordable and tailored EHR strategies for community care providers, the OCHIN and OSIS partnership builds the resilience of both networks to help transform care for roughly 30% of the estimated 32.5 million health center patients nationwide.
